A charming adaptation of the Judy Blume classic.

...wonderfully, warmly made coming-of-age comedy.

A touching and tender adaptation that does justice to a book which means so much to so many. An enduring, superbly performed triumph.

It’s all terribly scary, yes, but in Blume and Fremon Craig’s hands, growing up is also heart-stoppingly beautiful.

...a welcome, nostalgic throwback to simpler times.

It embraces humor, messiness and pain, and takes each bump in the road as seriously as the last. And, after going through the hellish trials and tribulations of puberty, I dare say it’s the movie that we all deserve.

...a movie that, like its source, will amicably report for duty in many young persons’ lives for generations to come.
